+       * iconvme.c (SIZE_MAX): New macro, if not already defined.
+       (iconv_string): Don't guess a size-zero buffer, as that might cause
+       buffer overrun.  Instead, avoid multiplying by MB_LEN_MAX if the
+       result would be 'too large', where 'too large' is (heuristically)
+       the square root of SIZE_MAX, divided by MB_LEN_MAX to allay
+       overflow concerns.  This will prevent some unwanted malloc failures
+       when the inputs are very large.
